Before long, Lan Yingying came downstairs and handed Han Changming a cyan storage ring. "Fellow Daoist Han, the total comes to ten million seven hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones. Forget the change—ten million will do."
Han Changming accepted the storage ring, swept it with his divine sense, nodded, and readily paid the full amount in spirit stones.
He had mainly bought artifact-refining materials, intending for Han Zhangxiang to refine artifacts. He hoped Han Zhangxiang could forge spiritual treasures. Whether pill refinement or artifact refinement, both required extensive practice.
Han Zhangxiang was not like Han Changming, who had Spirit Water to assist him. If Han Zhangxiang wanted to refine spiritual treasures, he would need vast quantities of materials for practice.
Han Changming did not want to keep asking outsiders to refine artifacts for him; it was far too inconvenient. If Han Zhangxiang could refine spiritual treasures, the entire clan would benefit.
After going downstairs, Han Changming and Wealthy Layman headed down together, chatting as they walked.
Han Changming casually asked, "Fellow Daoist Qian, was that Fellow Daoist Yang just now your friend? Is he also a traveling merchant?"
"No. You mean Fellow Daoist Yang Chang? He is one of my customers. I've traded with him several times."
Wealthy Layman gave a vague explanation, unwilling to say more. He had to keep his customers' matters confidential.
Han Changming did not press the matter further and casually remarked, "I heard the Li Clan of Golden Scorpion Island and the Sunrise Sect had a major clash, apparently over a Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasure?"
The Li Clan of Golden Scorpion Island and the Sunrise Sect were two powers on Mysterious Water Planet. Han Changming had heard passersby discussing the matter on the road just now. Major powers often fought fiercely over cultivation resources.
